Abstract
Chemical biocides are used for the prevention and control of infection in health care, targeted home hygiene or controlling microbial contamination for various industrial processes including but not limited to food, water and petroleum. However, their use has substantially increased since the implementation of programmes to control outbreaks of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridioides difficile and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Biocides interact with multiple targets on the bacterial cells. The number of targets affected and the severity of damage will result in an irreversible bactericidal effect or a reversible bacteriostatic one. Most biocides primarily target the cytoplasmic membrane and enzymes, although the specific bactericidal mechanisms vary among different biocide chemistries. Inappropriate usage or low concentrations of a biocide may act as a stressor while not killing bacterial pathogens, potentially leading to antimicrobial resistance. Biocides can also promote the transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes. In this Review, we explore our current understanding of the mechanisms of action of biocides, the bacterial resistance mechanisms encompassing both intrinsic and acquired resistance and the influence of bacterial biofilms on resistance. We also consider the impact of bacteria that survive biocide exposure in environmental and clinical contexts.

Abstract
Mucus, produced by Palythoa caribaeorum has been popularly reported due to healing, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. However, biochemical and pharmacological properties of this mucus remains unexplored. Therefore, the present study aimed to study its proteome profile by 2DE electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF. Furthermore, it was evaluated the cytotoxic, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities of the mucus and from its protein extract (PE). Proteomics study identified14 proteins including proteins involved in the process of tissue regeneration and death of tumor cells. The PE exhibited cell viability below 50% in the MCF-7 and S-180 strains. It showed IC50 of 6.9 μg/mL for the J774 lineage, and also, favored the cellular growth of fibroblasts. Furthermore, PE revealed activity against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis (MIC of 250 μg/mL). These findings revealed the mucus produced by Palythoa caribaeorum with biological activities, offering alternative therapies for the treatment of cancer and as a potential antibacterial agent.

Abstract
Table olives are often the result of fermentation, a process where microorganisms transform raw materials into the final product. The microbial community can significantly impact the organoleptic characteristics and safety of table olives, and it is influenced by various factors, including the processing methods. Traditional culture-dependent techniques capture only a fraction of table olives' intricate microbiota, prompting a shift toward culture-independent methods to address this knowledge gap. This review explores recent advances in table olive research through omics and meta-omics approaches. Genomic analysis of microorganisms isolated from table olives has revealed multiple genes linked to technological and probiotic attributes. An increasing number of studies concern metagenomics and metabolomics analyses of table olives. The former offers comprehensive insights into microbial diversity and function, while the latter identifies aroma and flavor determinants. Although proteomics and transcriptomics studies remain limited in the field, they have the potential to reveal deeper layers of table olives' microbiome composition and functionality. Despite the challenges associated with implementing multi-omics approaches, such as the reliance on advanced bioinformatics tools and computational resources, they hold the promise of groundbreaking advances in table olive processing technology.

Abstract
Lactiplantibacillus pentosus CF2-10 N, isolated from brines of naturally fermented Aloreña green table olives, exhibited high probiotic potential. High throughput sequencing and annotation of genome sequences underline the potential of L. pentosus CF2-10 N as excellent probiotic candidate of vegetable origin. In a previous study we could show the probiotic potential of CF2-10 N in vitro, while in this study in silico analysis of its genome revealed new insights into its safety and functionality. Our findings highlight the microorganism's ecological flexibility and adaptability to a broad range of environmental niches, food matrices and the gastrointestinal tract. These features are shared by both phylogenetically very close L. pentosus strains (CF2-10 N and MP-10) isolated from the same ecological niche with respect to their genome size (≅ 3.6 Mbp), the presence of plasmids (4-5) and several other properties. Nonetheless, additional and unique features are reported in the present study for L. pentosus CF2-10 N. Notably, the safety of L. pentosus CF2-10 N was shown by the absence of virulence determinants and the determination of acquired antibiotic resistance genes, i.e., resistome, which is mostly represented by efflux-pump resistance genes responsible for the intrinsic resistance. On the other hand, defense mechanisms of L. pentosus CF2-10 N include eight prophage regions and a CRISPR/cas system (CRISPR-I and CRISPR-II) as acquired immune system against mobile elements. Finally, the probiotic potential of this strain was further demonstrated by the presence of genes coding for proteins involved in adhesion, exopolysaccharide biosynthesis, tolerance to low pH and bile salts, immunomodulation, and vitamin and enzyme production. Taken together these results, we propose the use of L. pentosus CF2-10 N as a potential and promising probiotic candidate able to colonize several niches and adapt to different lifestyles. The strain can provide attractive functional and probiotic features necessary for its application as starter culture and probiotic.

Abstract
In this study, we determined whether pre-adapting Lactiplantibacillus pentosus strains, isolated from Aloreña green table olives, to vegetable-based edible oils improved their robustness and functionality; this may have great importance on their stress response during fermentation, storage, and digestion. Pre-adapting the strains to the corresponding oils significantly increased their probiotic functionality (e.g., auto-aggregation, co-aggregation with pathogens, and mucin adhesion), although results depended on the strain and the oil used for pre-adaptation. As such, we selected olive-adapted (TO) L. pentosus AP2-16, which exhibited improved functionality, and subjected it to transcriptomic profiling with the aim to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the adaptation and the increased functionality. Global transcriptomic analysis of oil-adapted (olive or almond) and non-adapted (control) L. pentosus AP2-16 realized that 3,259 genes were expressed, with 2,779 mapped to the reference database. Comparative transcriptomic analysis showed that 125 genes (olive vs. control) and 108 genes (olive vs. almond) became significantly differentially expressed. TO L. pentosus AP2-16 responded by rerouting its metabolic pathways to balance energy production and storage, cell growth and survivability, host interactions (glycoconjugates), and other physiological features. As such, the pre-adaptation of lactobacilli with olive oil switches their transcriptional network to regulate robustness and functionality, possibly representing a novel approach toward the design and manufacture of probiotic products with improved stability and functionality.

Abstract
Elevated UV-B radiation due to ozone layer depletion may prevent the growth of bloom-forming cyanobacteria in aquatic environments, while antibiotic contaminants may cause effects opposite to that of UV-B due to hormesis. This study investigated the influence of a quaternary antibiotic mixture on Microcystis aeruginosa after UV-B radiation through a 15-day exposure test. UV-B radiation extended the lag phase of M. aeruginosa at doses of 600 and 900 mJ/cm2, and significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the growth rate and the Fv/Fm value at doses of 300-900 mJ/cm2. Although UV-B radiation significantly (p < 0.05) stimulated the microcystin production ability in each cyanobacterial cell, the total microcystin concentration still significantly (p < 0.05) decreased due to the reduction of cell density. Mixed antibiotics and UV-B regulated the proteomic expression profile of M. aeruginosa in different manners. UV-B radiation upregulated 19 proteins and downregulated 49 proteins in M. aeruginosa, while mixed antibiotics upregulated 45 proteins and downregulated 25 proteins in UV-B treated cells. Mixed antibiotics significantly (p < 0.05) stimulated growth and photosynthesis, increased cell density and microcystin concentration, and reduced oxidative stress in UV-B treated cells through the upregulation of proteins involved in photosynthesis, biosynthesis, cell division, oxidation-reduction, gene expression and microcystin synthesis. This study verified the hypothesis that antibiotics accelerated the recovery of M. aeruginosa from UV-B induced damage. A safe threshold of 20 ng/L was suggested for mixed antibiotics (5 ng/L for each antibiotic), in order to eliminate the stimulatory effects of antibiotics on bloom-forming cyanobacteria.

Abstract
Probiotics can act as a natural barrier against several pathogens, such Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium linked to stomach cancer. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from pulque and aguamiel, and evaluate their probiotic potential and antimicrobial effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Helicobacter pylori. Ten isolates were selected and evaluated for in vitro resistance to antibiotics and gastrointestinal conditions, and antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus and the effect on H. pylori strains. 16S rRNA identification was performed. Ten potential probiotic isolates were confirmed as belonging to the genera Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. All the strains were susceptible to clinical antibiotics, except to vancomycin. Sixty percent of the isolates exhibited antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. The growth of H. pylori ATCC 43504 was suppressed by all the LAB, and the urease activity from all the H. pylori strains was inhibited, which may decrease its chances for survival in the stomach. The results suggest that LAB isolated from pulque and aguamiel could be an option to establish a harmless relationship between the host and H. pylori, helping in their eradication therapy.

Abstract
Biocides and formulated biocides are used worldwide for an increasing number of applications despite tightening regulations in Europe and in the United States. One concern is that such intense usage of biocides could lead to increased bacterial resistance to a product and cross-resistance to unrelated antimicrobials including chemotherapeutic antibiotics. Evidence to justify such a concern comes mostly from the use of health care-relevant bacterial isolates, although the number of studies of the resistance characteristics of veterinary isolates to biocides have increased the past few years. One problem remains the definition of "resistance" and how to measure resistance to a biocide. This has yet to be addressed globally, although the measurement of resistance is becoming more pressing, with regulators both in Europe and in the United States demanding that manufacturers provide evidence that their biocidal products will not impact on bacterial resistance. Alongside in vitro evidence of potential antimicrobial cross-resistance following biocide exposure, our understanding of the mechanisms of bacterial resistance and, more recently, our understanding of the effect of biocides to induce a mechanism(s) of resistance in bacteria has improved. This article aims to provide an understanding of the development of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria following a biocide exposure. The sections provide evidence of the occurrence of bacterial resistance and its mechanisms of action and debate how to measure bacterial resistance to biocides. Examples pertinent to the veterinary field are used where appropriate.

Abstract
The global proteomic regulation and the mechanism of biomolecule evolution in acid and alkaline ecosystems triggered by tetracycline, a representative of antibiotics, are not clear. To reveal the related mechanisms, the global responses of Escherichia (E.) coli to tetracycline in acid and alkaline conditions were analyzed using a proteomic approach. The specific phospholipid C16:1ω9c showed a significant decrease between the treatment and control groups. The 77 and 111 upregulated proteins in E. coli in acid and alkaline groups were mainly involved in carbohydrate transport and metabolism and energy metabolism, whereas, the 78 downregulated proteins were related to ribosome and bacterial chemotaxis in the acid group. The 110 downregulated proteins involved in carbon, glycine, serine, threonine, glyoxylate, and dicarboxylate metabolism, biosynthesis of antibiotics, fatty acids, and secondary metabolites in the alkaline group. Protein sequence analysis showed that the respective distribution of phosphorylation, glycosylation, and methylation sites among stable-expressed, upregulated, and downregulated proteins all showed a significant difference. TolC and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck) in E. coli could be biomarkers to reflect tetracycline stress under extreme conditions with high sequence homology in Homo sapiens, implying the potential impact of tetracycline on humans at the network level. Generally, E. coli in the acid group accelerated the highly efficient protection mechanism to defend against tetracycline stress, while E. coli in the alkaline group strongly impaired the protection mechanism. These findings provide important clues to reveal the microbial antibiotic resistance mechanism in E. coli under extreme conditions and perfect the antibiotic usage.

On the basis of their adhesive capacity to mucin, three phenotypes were selected for cell-wall protein proteomic analysis to pinpoint proteins involved in the adhesion process: the highly adhesive L. pentosus CF1-43 N (73.49% of adhesion ability), the moderately adhesive L. pentosus CF1-37 N (49.56% of adhesion ability) and the poorly adhesive L. pentosus CF2-20P (32.79% of adhesion ability). The results revealed four moonlighting proteins over-produced in the highly adhesive L. pentosus CF1-43 N, which were under/not produced in the other two L. pentosus strains (CF1-37 N and CF2-20P). These proteins were involved in glycolytic pathway (phosphoglycerate mutase and glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase), stress response (small heat shock protein) and transcription (transcription elongation factor GreA). Furthermore, the relative fold change in gene expression analysis showed significant up-regulation of the genes coding for these four moonlighting proteins in the highly adhesive L. pentosus CF1-43 N versus the poorly adhesive L. pentosus CF2-20P and also in response to mucin for 20 h which clearly indicate the significant role of these genes in the adhesion capacity of L. pentosus. Thus, these proteins could be used as biomarkers for mucus adhesion in L. pentosus. On the other hand, mucin exposure induced other probiotic effects in L. pentosus strains, enhancing their co-aggregation ability with pathogens and possible inactivation.

Abstract
In Gram-negative bacteria, the outer membrane proteins (OMPs) perform a crucial role in antibiotic resistance, but it is largely unknown how they behave in response to antibiotic stress. In this study, we treated Aeromonas hydrophila with two different doses of oxytetracycline (OXY) to induce antibiotic stress. Proteins were isolated from sarcosine-insoluble fractions and quantitatively examined by using tandem mass tag labeling-based mass spectrometry to identify differentially expressed proteins. As a result, we identified 125 differential proteins in the 5 μg/ml OXY treatment group, including 20 OMPs, and 150 proteins from the 10 μg/ml OXY group, including 22 OMPs. Gene ontology analysis showed that translation-related proteins, including 30S and 50S ribosome proteins, were significantly enriched in increasing abundance under OXY stress; whereas the downregulated proteins were associated with the transport process, such as maltodextrin, maltose, and oligosaccharide transport. We then validated a subset of the identified differential proteins by using Western blot and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses. Finally, the quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) results showed that at the transcription level, the expression of five OMP genes, including AHA_1280 (protein name A0KHS0), AHA_1281 (A0KHS1), AHA_1447 (A0KI84, BamE), AHA_1861 (A0KJE1), and AHA_2766 (A0KLX3), and one lipoprotein gene AHA_1740 (A0KJ25) was consistent with proteomic results under 5 and 10 μg/ml OXY treatment, respectively. In addition, the Western blotting also demonstrated that two altered OMP proteins A0KHS1 and A0KHH2 were upregulated for both OXY treatment groups. This study indicates that bacteria regulate the expression levels of OMPs in response to antibiotic stress and further contribute to our understanding of the functions of OMPs in antibiotic resistance. Moreover, our results suggest that the upregulation of translation and downregulation of the transport process may affect bacterial fitness during OXY stress. These findings may provide new clues to the antibiotic resistance mechanism in A. hydrophila.

In silico genomic insights into aspects of food safety and defense mechanisms of a potentially probiotic Lactobacillus pentosus MP-10 isolated from brines of naturally fermented Aloreña green table olives. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0176801.

Abstract
Lactobacillus pentosus MP-10, isolated from brines of naturally fermented Aloreña green table olives, exhibited high probiotic potential. The genome sequence of L. pentosus MP-10 is currently considered the largest genome among lactobacilli, highlighting the microorganism's ecological flexibility and adaptability. Here, we analyzed the complete genome sequence for the presence of acquired antibiotic resistance and virulence determinants to understand their defense mechanisms and explore its putative safety in food. The annotated genome sequence revealed evidence of diverse mobile genetic elements, such as prophages, transposases and transposons involved in their adaptation to brine-associated niches. In-silico analysis of L. pentosus MP-10 genome sequence identified a CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/cas (CRISPR-associated protein genes) as an immune system against foreign genetic elements, which consisted of six arrays (4-12 repeats) and eleven predicted cas genes [CRISPR1 and CRISPR2 consisted of 3 (Type II-C) and 8 (Type I) genes] with high similarity to L. pentosus KCA1. Bioinformatic analyses revealed L. pentosus MP-10 to be absent of acquired antibiotic resistance genes, and most resistance genes were related to efflux mechanisms; no virulence determinants were found in the genome. This suggests that L. pentosus MP-10 could be considered safe and with high-adaptation potential, which could facilitate its application as a starter culture and probiotic in food preparations.

Abstract
Probiotic bacteria are known to harbor intrinsic and mobile genetic elements that confer resistance to a wide variety of antibiotics. Their high amounts in dietary supplements can establish a reservoir of antibiotic resistant genes in the human gut. These resistant genes can be transferred to pathogens that share the same intestinal habitat thus resulting in serious clinical ramifications. While antibiotic resistance of probiotic bacteria from food, human and animal sources have been well-documented, the resistant profiles of probiotics from dietary supplements have only been recently studied. These products are consumed with increasing regularity due to their health claims that include the improvement of intestinal health and immune response as well as prevention of acute and antibiotic-associated diarrhea and cancer; but, a comprehensive risk assessment on the spread of resistant genes to human health is lacking. Here, we highlight recent reports of antibiotic resistance of probiotic bacteria isolated from dietary supplements, and propose complementary strategies that can shed light on the risks of consuming such products in the context of a global widespread of antibiotic resistance. In concomitant with a broader screening of antibiotic resistance in probiotic supplements is the use of computational simulations, live imaging and functional genomics to harvest knowledge on the evolutionary behavior, adaptations and dynamics of probiotics studied in conditions that best represent the human gut including in the presence of antibiotics. The underlying goal is to enable the health benefits of probiotics to be exploited in a responsible manner and with minimal risk to human health.
